Share & comment

Bring on the rumours of the Apple Television, yet again. This time, Bloombergrelays a report from Tokyo-based Advanced Research Japan Co., which says Apple will “probably” start selling a television with a “frameless design” in Q4 of 2014:

Apple Inc. will probably start selling ultra-high definition televisions with 65- and 55-inch screens during the fourth quarter of next year, according to a Tokyo-based analyst at Advanced Research Japan Co.

The Cupertino, California-based company is deciding on specifications, and the models likely will have a frameless design, Masahiko Ishino, an analyst at Advanced Research, said in an interview Oct. 18. Ishino declined to identify the people who gave him the information.

As for possibly suppliers, the analyst Masahiko Ishino goes on to explain LG Display, Samsung and Corning could possibly be the suppliers for such a TV set, which maybe be priced between $1,500 to $2,500. It could also have a GPU from Samsung and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 as the front cover. As for assembly of the device, it would be none other than Foxconn, one of Apple’s major suppliers.
